Food writer and person-on-TV Troy Johnson is a San Diego native who’s been on Food Network for 12 years or 87 years, we’re not quite sure—most notably as a lead judge on Guy’s Grocery Games, but also Iron Chef, Best Thing I Ever Ate, Alex vs. America, and Superchef Grudge Match. He and his wife Claire took over San Diego Magazine in 2021 because they wanted to create good things in the place they live. The Del Mar Wine + Food Festival is one of those things. He’ll be your host for the weekend, pointing you toward great food and commenting on the festivities.
